Life / Do Polish People steal a lot? [330]
of course...as you may know that cowboy boots were a Polish fashion exported a few hundred years ago
This is now not a problem anymore. As mentioned earlier - these accused Poles did steal due to hundreds of years of oppression, poverty and the need for basic survival. But this stealing was not always direct stealing - as in mugging, hold-ups etc but creative ways of obtaining money or food or a way of living.
stealing is not isolated to a certain race. How ridiculous to think so. It is like saying do Americans eat alot of hotdogs or wear cowboy boots????

Real Estate / The current property boom in Poland is a bubble [342]
yes but even experienced investors can only speculate and they don't really know 100%. they rid the wave and get off when it gets a little shakey. What I was saying earlier is that this wave is breaking soon but the next wave is not too far behind. Some waves are bigger then others. We are all now surfing a tidal wave.
See you all on the beach!!!
Yes I know...I need a holiday...

Exactly. The money has been made at this stage. Anyone investing now will not gain much. The thing to do is now wait for a while. Property markets boom in stages. The next boom stage will be - whenever it comes.
Astute developers would have entered the Polish market years ago and retired now on the profits.

Travel / Which city is better to visit: Warsaw or Krakow? [169]
London looks inspired bright and exciting but inside it's cold, lonely and monotonous.
Warsaw looks cold, lonely and monotonous but inside it's inspired, bright and exciting
I spend equal time in London and Warsaw. Yes London has it all - and I'm sure NY has it all too but for some reason I allways have a better time in Warsaw. There are many reasons.
Krakow looks nicer than London and Warsaw but is a little uptight and lost in it's own history.
Zeze - you are unhappy in Warsaw - what are you looking for? and what are you doing comparing warsaw to London and NY? You can't even compare London to NY.

ever been to London or NY I think not

At first - 2 years ago - I thought Warsaw was quite shocking - it just hasnt recovered from the war. Now I've been 10 times and I'm completely adicted. There is something about the place I can't put my finger on. Warsaw looks better in deepest winter covered in snow.

History / Poles and Russians -- love-hate relationship? [209]
There is no reason why Russia and Poland should not get along. However - for them to do so - they have to forgive and forget the bad history. Too much hidden hatred still exists e.g. Katyn - the war in 1920 etc. They should all sit around a table - get drunk - and it'll all come out in a flood of tears...
then it will be ok...
